Berlin -- "The White Ribbon" crowned a phenomenal year with a near-sweep of the 60th German Film Awards on Friday.
Michael Haneke's film took home 10 Lolas including best film, best director and best actor for Burghart Klaussner.
Hans-Christian Schmid's war crimes drama, "Storm," which debuted at the 2009 Berlin International Film Festival, picked up three Lolas, including the Silver Best Film nod, best editing for Hansjorg Weissbrich and the best score for the film music composed by German alt music stars the Notwist.
But the star of the evening was Sibel Kekilli, who won the best actress Lola for Feo Aladag's "When We Leave." Kekilli, who won the Lola for her debut in Fatih Akin's "Head-On" (2004) had nearly vanished from the German film scene. But her standout performance in "When We Leave," playing a German/Turkish woman trying to escape he abusive husband, marks a stunning comeback.
